I'm not much for running unless I'm being pursued by something.

Good luck, Rick.

Wow - just qualifying for it is a big accomplishment. I tried but couldn't make the cut off. Haven't run a 26.2'er in a couple of years now and don't miss the wear and tear, but still love a good run. You're not kidding about the Kenyen's they trot as fast as I sprint.

Thanks guys. It went pretty well. I ran a 3:07:50. This was my third marathon and my fastest. I was really hoping for a sub 3 hr. time, but the course was much tougher than I expected. The first 13 was flat to rolling downhill, but 16-22 really kicked my A$$. I love suffering like that. It is good for the soul. Next year I'll get it under 3 hr's

Thanks again.

The run back would really be tough with all those staves strapped to my back.

That's when it counts most

Well done Rick! A good time for only your third marathon. How long does it take you to recover to "full capacity" afterwards, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm totally impressed that you ran in the Boston Marathon. Wow. I dont think I've even met a marathoner before.

I was thinking of hiding around the last mile, then completing the race first. But that has already been done
